(resend because the mailinglist blocked it)

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry that I was confusing people which was really not my
intention. I have also
seen your ACK to create the ports and replied to you in private to
offer my help. Then
I joined in IRC and just wanted to get an idea how far the FreeBSD
support was. I
ended up creating two very rough ports which did build but not pass
poudriere and
called it a day. I also did send you and the list a mail to avoid
duplicate work - and
hoped you take it as a base.

But I did not get any reply on the next day so I kept going and
finished the ports
yesterday with some good help from upstream.

Sorry for how that developed but I hoped you get in contact with
either me or upstream
which neither happened. We usually do not have the problem that too many people
want to help out so I did not expect that this will be a problem for anyone.
